Description
Blisterin' bleach blonde garage punk from Long Beach's Emperors! Previously limited to a handful of singles, this full length album includes all of their material, including 4 unissued tracks! From the maniacal laughter on "Laughin' Linda" to their foot-tappin' cover of the Zombies' "You Make Me Feel So Good" it's easy to see why this group of teens were hailed as Long Beach's favorite group. Susan Gilmore, an Emperor fan, recollects, "The highlight of the dances were when they played.
While attendance was pretty good for other bands, the Emperors packed the place every time. The buzz would start during the week at school. 'The Emperors are playing this weekend. Are you going to go?'" The wild teenage sound of the original Emperors is still the greatest. "It's just a lifetime experience," concluded Randall. "In a way, I felt that we were ahead of our time. The way we played and the way we presented everything on stage, nobody was shy. It was a wonderful experience."
A new version of the band rebranded as simply Emperor, led by Steve Watts and Randy Budihas, would record for RCA, then Private Stock during the '70s. After a 20-year break, The Emperors reformed in 2002 and are still performing and entertaining fans today.
